PMS Symptoms

PMS symptoms are very unpredictable. Different women have different combinations of PMS symptoms. But your PMS symptoms will probably remain the same for you from month to month sometimes they'll be more intense, sometimes less. For example, your friend may have backaches and you might feel some bloating. Chances are your friend will probably always have backaches before her period, and you will continue to have bloating before yours, although sometimes PMS symptoms will be worse than other times. PMS symptoms usually start seven to ten days before your period, and may get a little worse right before menstruation begins. When your period starts, the symptoms usually go away.

PMS symptoms include the following:

Emotional Symptoms

Anxiety—you worry so much about sleeping late and missing an exam that you lose sleep the night before

Irritability—you snap at your friends for stupid things that usually wouldn’t bother you

Fatigue—you’re tired—even in the middle of the day

Depression—you feel sad a lot of the time

Mood swings—you feel really happy, then really sad, and sometimes really angry, frequently within the same day or even the same hour

I think ill get my period soon! I've been having discharge for probably three months now. And a lot of these symptoms look familiar. I REALLY want my period you guys know how it is, just for no reason at all you want your period REALLY bad... I'm not the only one right?

most of things on here are happening to me and I felt a little dizzy yesterday after I took a hot bath to calm the cramps. I've had cramps for three days straight now and they don't hurt they are just discomforting. and when I was dizzy I didn't feel like I was going to throw up.

Is it possible to get PMS symptoms before your first period? I've experienced some of these symptoms and it makes me wonder if I'm about to get my period.

I can always tell when my best friend has her period, she acts SO moody and it gets annoying at times. But I get used to it because I know most likely when I get my period, I'll be the same way. Then she'll have to put up with me. :p
